Alex Reid reports ex-wife Katie Price to police

Alex Reid claims he has reported his ex-wife Katie Price to the police after she announced she had ‘disturbing’ footage of the cross-dressing cage fighter.

The 42-year-old star spoke to the Sunday People about his plight, following the glamour model’s explosive claims regarding the videos and photos which he claims were filmed without consent while he was intoxicated.

After he was pictured heading to Colindale Police Station in north London on Thursday, he has since confirmed he reported the star, 39, as he admitted he feels ‘mortified and disgusted’ at news of the tapes and images.

Reported: Alex Reid claims he has reported his ex-wife Katie Price to the police after she announced she had ‘disturbing’ footage of the cross-dressing cage fighter

Alex’s short-lived marriage to Katie Price, which ended in 2011 after 11 months, hit headlines once again this week, when she claimed to have ‘disgusting’ and ‘disturbing’ footage of him in her possession.

The thrice-wed star expressed wishes that Alex would stop criticising her because she has far more incriminating things to show about him – but added that she would never make the purportedly revealing images public.

She told heat magazine: ‘When I’ve split up with exes, they’ve gone on a rampage, slagging me off… with Alex the amount of stories he’s done on me, but he forgets what videos and pictures I have of him.

‘All my friends have seen them, but not once have I ever put them out. One, it would disturb everyone to the grave and number two, they’re not flattering, they’re disgusting. You look at them and you’re disgusted.’

In wake of her revelation, Alex has now hit out at the star amid her claims as he revealed he has sought help from police as he is determined to silence her proclamations about the footage, which he insists was filmed against his will.

Speaking to the publication, he said: ‘I have reported her. Enough is enough. After seven years of bullying, harassment and threats I’ve had enough. I’ve been persecuted and it has to stop somewhere.

‘Ultimately I want to be friendly. I did love her once… For someone who has taken videos and recordings without my consent or knowledge when I was intoxicated… I am mortified and disgusted.

‘She was someone I loved. She was someone I shared intimate things with. She has taken advantage of that. I believe she has flaunted it and broken it and I’ve basically had enough. I am ready to do this properly.’

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Alex, Katie and Metropolitan Police for comment.

Alex is now engaged to Nikki Manashe and his fiancée has previously admitted she dreads it when Katie is a panellist on Loose Women because she has used her platform on the TV show to attack the cage fighter so many times.

She previously said: ‘To be honest I think she needs to let bygones be bygones. She needs to let us live our lives and she can live her life.

‘I wish her well. I don’t know her, I don’t need to know her, and I’m very happy and that’s that. I wish people would just let things rest, you know.’

Sex change: Alex said: ‘Then she used it all against me. I want to put the record straight. I am heterosexual, though I don’t deny I’ve experimented. But I am not having a sex change’

Katie ended her marriage to Alex in 2011, just 11-months after their wedding day.

In a lengthy statement issued via her publicist at the time, she conceded she married the athlete ‘too quickly’, but accused him of being ‘fascinated’ by his new celebrity status.

In her cutting statement, Price accused her estranged husband of ‘changing’ from the ‘man I fell in love with’ when they started dating in July 2009 – just eight weeks after she split from first husband Peter Andre.

But Katie claimed his ‘desire to promote himself caused a change in the dynamic of our relationship and contributed to our alienation’.

She married Kieran Hayler in 16 January 2013. Katie was previously married to Peter Andre from 2005 – 2009.

Last year, Alex hit back, saying: ‘I think Katie has tried to destroy me to be honest. I think she just got bored with me and saw me as a way of keeping her media profile up by being controversial.

‘Then she used it all against me. I want to put the record straight. I am heterosexual, though I don’t deny I’ve experimented. But I am not having a sex change.’
